My family has lived in my house for 9 years and it has helped my family through a lot, with the location and the size of the house and just the general neighborhood and feeling of the house. A few years ago a couple things happened in our neighborhood (that I am choosing not to share because it is kind of personal) Not related to that, we felt as if we had had our house for to long, and we needed a change.

It’s such a beautiful house and I couldn’t be more thankful for anything in my life. But about six months ago, my family started talking about moving. My dad’s work was going to try and expand out west, and that meant we would have had to move to Colorado. It was scary, and I didn’t want to leave. But luckily, his work stopped thinking about it, at least for a few months. Last month, my mom started looking into more houses about thirty minutes away from here. There were a few things in the neighborhood that were exactly floating our boats, so we started looking into more houses.

We went to check out a house in the Purcellville area. It was so big and beautiful and perfect for our family. Everyone loved it, and about a few days later we submitted an offer for it. We submitted full price and sent a letter saying we were happy to work with them if they wanted a different price. The house has a name, Devonshire. Anyway, the house is 40 minutes away from here, which means a new school, new friends, and a whole new life. Today we find out if they picked our offer or not, and it’s scary because I would love to have a new house but I like some of my friends here. I am feeling so anxious about what the future holds for me in this new house.

 For the past few days, my mom has been telling the family to manifest them picking our offer for the house because we all really want it. Today is the day, and it’s so nerve racking, but I think our family is ready for this big change. I mean, there is 4.76 acres of land for a crazy family of six! It’s so perfect for us.  I really hope we are moving there, because it’s so beautiful. I am really excited and I hope everything goes well!

Edit- We got the house!!! We are going to live in purcellville!
